But I've been having a hard time communicating about dynamics with them other than pulling up videos of experienced bands to demonstrate how much dance musicians break tunes down, improvise, and play. The energy needed to carry across a 7-minute set is harder to describe!! Following along in case others have ideas.

Hello hive mind

I have an upcoming ONS gig with a group of people who are all professional musicians, but have never played together nor played for a dance. What resources are out there to help give these musicians an understanding of what is coming for them? Any web videos or PDFs of hints so they know what to expect? They are asking for sheet music and videos, which will help but I know there is much more to it than that.
